Provenance “valenciennes Ursuline Convent”

Rare and Interesting Beguinage Furniture Characteristic of Flanders: The beguines, who formed autonomous communities in buildings built around a leafy courtyard, led a life of pious but active penance in the workshops and infirmaries. If it suited them to be modest, they should not live in poverty. The austere furniture of the beguinages therefore presents a quality, sobriety and rigor in the image of demanding forms of devotion. In oak and from the Renaissance period. Good state of conservation.
